FAQs — IS 808 Channel

IS 808 Channel: Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on sizes, thickness, weight, grades, MTC, pricing and ordering — so your enquiry is specification-ready before you send it.

01
What is an IS 808 channel?
IS 808 Channel refers to a hot-rolled channel section identified by the Indian dimensional standard IS 808. It is used in building frames, infrastructure, transport, energy supports and engineered fabrication. The name does not establish safe capacity; final selection must follow the approved drawing, BOQ, material and dimensional standards and the responsible engineer’s calculations.
02
Is IS 808 a material grade specification?
No. IS 808 is principally a dimensional and section-property standard for hot-rolled steel sections, not a material strength grade. A purchase order must separately state the approved material specification and complete grade, plus the IS 808 section designation and tolerances.
03
What does IS 808 control for channel sections?
IS 808 controls recognised dimensional data for hot-rolled structural sections, including designations, geometry, mass and section properties within its scope. It does not by itself select the material grade. State IS 2062 or another approved material specification separately.
04
Which IS 808 channel sizes and weight variants are listed?
The live page shows 70 x 35 mm to 200 x 75 mm in the published chart, with 4.2 kg/m to 22.3 kg/m, with STD/MED/LIGHT variants for selected sizes. These are catalogue values rather than stock or load confirmation. State the exact section or STD/MED/LIGHT variant, grade, dimensional standard, length and quantity, then verify the row against approved documents.
05
How should material grade be stated with an IS 808 channel?
State the IS 808 channel designation together with the separate approved material specification and full grade, such as the exact IS 2062 grade and quality where required. Also include the standard editions, length, quantity, finish, MTC type, inspection and project drawing reference.
06
What is the difference between IS 808 and IS 2062?
IS 808 addresses dimensions, mass and section properties for hot-rolled structural sections, while IS 2062 specifies structural-steel material grades and related requirements. A channel may need both: one to define its shape and another to define the steel. Neither automatically replaces the other.
07
Can an IS 808 channel be substituted by matching only kg/m?
No grade or section should automatically replace IS 808 Channel. Compare chemistry, mechanical properties, impact quality, thickness limits, delivery condition, dimensional standard, mass and project requirements. Any substitution needs written engineer or end-user approval and revised calculations where section properties change.
08
What dimensions should be checked during IS 808 channel inspection?
Check the exact designation, depth, flange width, web and flange thickness, root radius where applicable, mass per metre, length, straightness, end condition and rolling tolerances. Confirm the measurement method and acceptance criteria from the specified edition of IS 808 and project documents.
09
How is the IS 808 Channel price per kg calculated?
Do not publish a fixed current IS 808 Channel price per kg. The rate changes with grade, section mass, quantity, length, finish, market date and supply route. Send the exact designation, standards, total tonnage and delivery postcode for a dated quotation, then confirm GST, freight and fabrication inclusions.
10
Can a bulk IS 808 Channel supplier quote a current tonne rate?
A current IS 808 Channel price per tonne can be quoted for a defined requirement. State section, grade and standards, length, pieces or tonnage, finish, MTC, inspection and destination. Compare offers on the same weight basis and verify tax, freight, cutting, packing and documentation terms.
11
Why may two IS 808 Channel supplier quotations differ?
The landed cost of IS 808 Channel depends on grade, mass variant, availability, order mix, tonnage, length, cutting, drilling, coating, testing, inspection, packing and transport. Mixed or uncommon sections can price differently from one repetitive bulk size, so compare line items and inclusions.
12
How is the minimum order quantity confirmed for IS 808 Channel?
The live page states a minimum order quantity of 1 tonne. Confirm how MOQ applies when an enquiry mixes sizes, grades, STD/MED/LIGHT variants, special lengths, finishes or inspection. Provide the piece count and calculated tonnage for every line item.
13
How should current IS 808 Channel availability be checked?
Do not assume every IS 808 Channel section, grade, weight variant and length is ready stock. Availability should be confirmed against the exact specification, quantity and enquiry date. If timing matters, state the required date and ask whether the offer is based on stock, incoming material or reviewed supply.
14
Can heat traceability and an MTC be requested for IS 808 Channel?
Request the MTC for IS 808 Channel at the enquiry stage, stating certificate type, full grade, standard edition, heat traceability and project format. Check that it matches supplied markings, section and thickness. A generic certificate does not prove every dimensional, toughness or coating requirement.
15
What should third-party inspection cover for IS 808 Channel?
Inspection for IS 808 Channel should cover identification, dimensions, web and flange thickness, length, straightness, surface condition, quantity, marking and MTC traceability. For third-party inspection, specify the agency, stage, hold points, acceptance criteria and reports before ordering.
16
Can fabrication drawings be included with a IS 808 Channel enquiry?
Cutting, drilling or fabrication of IS 808 Channel can be reviewed against an approved drawing. Provide cut lengths, holes, notches, end plates, weld details, tolerances and piece marks. Connection design, welding procedures and structural modifications remain subject to engineer and fabricator approval.
17
Should mill, painted or galvanised finish be stated for IS 808 Channel?
The live page lists painted, galvanised or standard mill finish for IS 808 Channel. State the surface condition, paint or galvanising standard, preparation, coating inspection and fabrication sequence. Galvanised mild steel is corrosion-resistant rather than permanently rust-proof, and cut edges may require an approved repair system.
18
Which industries procure IS 808 Channel?
IS 808 Channel are considered for building frames, infrastructure, transport, energy supports and engineered fabrication. Suitability depends on section properties, grade, exposure, orientation, span, restraints, loads, connections and fire requirements. Final use must follow approved calculations, drawings, BOQ and project standards.
19
Does Ferrite review India-wide and export enquiries for IS 808 Channel?
Ferrite can review IS 808 Channel requirements for Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, nearby states, India-wide supply and export enquiries. Availability and logistics depend on section and quantity. Provide the delivery postcode or destination port, Incoterm, unloading constraints and required date.
20
Which information prevents delay in a IS 808 Channel quotation?
For a fast IS 808 Channel quotation, send profile, exact section and mass variant, full grade, material and dimensional standards, length, pieces, tonnage, finish, make preference, MTC and inspection requirements. Add fabrication drawings, delivery postcode or port, Incoterm and required date.
